A review by heykellyjensen
The Waking Forest by Alyssa Wees

A really enjoyable fairy tale featuring magic, dreams, talking foxes who aren't foxes (and non-talking foxes who aren't, either!), family, friendship, and a forest which appears then disappears. I loved how Wees wove challenges with anxiety into the storyline, both for Rhea, the main character, as well as her sister. The writing is beautiful and lush, as magical as the story itself. One readers who loved THE HAZEL WOOD will dig, plus it's a stand alone.
